This morning Vets For Peace for the COB took a letter to the mayor's office requesting his support. I guess he was too busy to meet with this amazing crowd. #communityoversightnow m.facebook.com/story.php?sto… – at Nashville, TN

Building community inside the walls of prison is extremely important but very difficult. Can I trust this person? Will they turn on me? Finding a group to build community means getting through the day or the minute, sometimes the breathe.

Campaign update: gofundme.com/break-the-block During the past two months No Exceptions collaborated and joined with the Poor People's Campaign to raise awareness around the abuses of mass incarceration, and the urgent need to abolish private prisons. Help us keep it going.

A6. HJR 226 is sponsored by Rep. Joe Towns of Memphis. It would universally ban slavery in TN Constitution. It passed the TN House, but failed in Senate. We are bringing it back next year. .@TNNAACP #secondchancenaacptn

A6. 13th amendment doesn't abolish slaver for ppl in slavery (or "duly convicted of crime") you are considered slave or indentured servant. HJR226 removes the criminality exception - meaning you can't use incarceration to enslave ppl. #secondchancenaacptn .@TNNAACP xitter.cf/TNNAACP/status/9896540…

Q6. Our next question is for Rev. Jeannie Alexander of .@noexceptionsTN. You are working in HJR 226, another historic policy that would address modern slavery of incarcerated persons in Tennessee. What does it do and why in the 21st century? #secondchancenaacptn

More for A1. The TN Comptroller issued a report showing failure of transparency in TN prisons - lack of medical care, violence, abuse, overuse of solitary confinement. Legislation will be brought up again. .@tnnaacp #secondchancenaacptn

A1. Gov. Haslman eliminated Independent Oversight. Dept. of Corrections has major human rights violations in Tennessee prisons, yet there is no transparency. No one is watching the watchers. Legislation would bring independent oversight back. .@tnnaacp #secondchancenaacptn

Amend 33, also known as HJR226 just passed in the TN House! Are you listening Senate? #abolitionnow

HJR 226 set for a final reading and vote in the House tonight, but what happens in the Senate remains to be seen. Can we lead in universal abolition?

HB 1188 would have brought back independent oversight over the Department of Corrections Listen to staff and listen to prisoners!

Are we responsible for the lies we let other adults utter aloud in our presence unchallenged? I kind of think we are.
